Hey Osvaldo. We haven't had a chance to install a hitch on a truck with a Royal utility bed but after looking at pics online I am pretty sure I have one that will work with your 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500HD.
We've had success installing the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C15313 on Silverado's with service bodies. To confirm this will be compatible with your set up I want you to take a measurement. From the mounting flange that attaches to the bottom of your truck's frame to the hitch opening measures 5-5/8". If this clears your utility bed then this hitch will be perfect for your truck.
How far down from the bottom of your frame does your utility bed hang? You can add this information and any other questions you have where it says Reply to Jerred H and I'll be happy to answer them.

Hey Osvaldo, did you get a chance to measure the distance from the bottom of your truck's frame to see if the Curt Trailer Hitch fits with your utility bed? I'm asking because your experience could help others with similar setups.
